Essential Question: How can I teach for understanding?
Big Idea: The thinking strategies can be incorporated into your instruction; they are not an add on, but they ensure that students can understand your content.
By the end of the two days, participants will:
Understand one thinking (comprehension) strategy well enough that you can explain, model, and apply the strategy to your teaching
Understand how the before/during/after model supports and deepens students’ understanding of important ideas
Know instructional moves for supporting students’ thinking while reading (annotating text, using sticky notes, graphic organizers, modeling through think-alouds, anchor charts)
